Abstract:
A loop antenna array that can form a linear and clear communication area boundary is provided. The loop antenna array includes two loop antennas. Currents flow through the loop antennas in opposite directions from each other. In other words, viewing in a direction passing through each of the loop antennas, at a timing when a positive voltage is applied to a signal terminal of an alternating-current source, a clockwise current flows through one loop antenna while a counterclockwise current flows through the other loop antenna. Conversely, at a timing when a negative voltage is applied to the signal terminal of the alternating-current source, a counterclockwise current flows through one loop antenna while a clockwise current flows through the other loop antenna.
